even if the other chap doesn't use it, you can encrypt, they can
decrypt.

I've set it up for not-computer-savvy folks and as long as the
instructions are clear, the training is designed to educate, not
intimidate, they do okay.

zero knowledge about operation between OSes.

anything else specific you wanna chat about?

oh; how 'bout this: instead of paying money for PGP you can use the open
source GPG which uses essentially the same command line syntax and is
quite cool and fun and makes you look like George Clooney (unless you'd
rather not.)
